Forms :: Making Textbox Visible On A Form If Checkbox Is Checked On Same Form
Aug 30, 2013I am having a problem with making a textbox visible on a form if a checkbox is checked on the same form. I have done research on this site and have written the code below, but I am getting a Syntax error, see yellow highlight.
- My checkbox is named: Case is a Readmission from WRCA IP to WRCA IP
- My textbox is named: Date of Current IP Admission (I have defaulted this textbox to not visible).
Here's the code I have written:
Private Sub Case_is_a_Readmission_from_WRCA_IP_to_WRCA_IP_Clic k()
If Case is a Readmission from WRCA IP to WRCA IP =true then
Date of Current IP Admission.visible=true
Else
Date of Current IP Admission.visible=false

Aug 18, 2005I created a button that opens a form with a specific data in a 'read-only form'. The first one is using macro, and the other one is using visual basic. The problem is that that button opens the right form with the right data (based on the linkcriteria), but the format of the opened form is still editable. Can anybody help with my problem, please?

Making A Form Act Like Excel.
Jun 13, 2005I am sure the solution is pretty easy but this problem has stumped me for a good few weeks.
I have a simple Excel spreadsheet with a column for town and a column for the price to deliver to that town. An autofilter allows the user to select the town, which will then display the price.
I want to add this feature to an Access database but am struggling to implement it into a form. Does anyone have any ideas?
Many Thanks

Making A Form For Meds
Oct 7, 2005Okay, I'm pretty new at access. I have made tables for medication samples and sign out. I need some help in making a form to input and "sign out" meds.
I made the tables and allowed the wizard to create a form for me but I have some tables that don't show a relationship, and am not sure what to do.
The two forms I want are a data entry form that will enter the med, dose, lot#, exp. date, and number of samples for sign in, and, a form to enter date, patient last and first name, med, dose, lot #, expiration date, #of samples given, clinic and practitioner. I have attached the tables I made, can someone review and see if I messed up somewhere???? Thanks alot, I'm all for making our work lives easier! Robin.
Making A Name Magically Appear In A Form
Oct 27, 2005In my DB I have a table of Member Names. It consist primarily of the key field MemRecNum and Last Name. I use a combo box to select the MemRecNum but show the Last Name in the box.
Further on down the form I either need to relate a guest to this member or his wife. There is a checkbox which identifies whether the name in that field is a guest or a wife. However, I would like to make it so that when I check the checkbox (yes) the last name of the member automatically appears in the field. I use this statement in the control: =IIf([Wife1]=Yes,Members!MemLastName,""). Since the recnum is what is stored in this table, when I use the above statement, I get a #name? error. Any Ideas? Thanks Jeff
Making A Matrix In A Form
Aug 4, 2006Hi,
I am looking to create a matrix like table in a form. It would be used for accessing the capability of Project Managers for a recruitment company. On the X axis there will be different industries (ie IT, Finance etc). On the Y axis there will be different categories (like strategy, applications etc). Then I will need some kind of drop down box to link it all together and give each person a score out of 5. So for example somebody could have a score of 2 for their Strategy knowledge in IT Companies but a score of 5 for their Strategy knowledge in Applications etc...
Does anyone know if this is possible and if so any help on how to construct this would be much appreciated,
Many thanks in advance, Alex
Change Form From Read Only To Edit
Feb 14, 2007I have a form I open in “Read Only” mode (via a macro). I’d like to add a button to the form that would allow editing of the record (i.e., the default would be "read only" unless the button is clicked).
Thanks,

Forms :: Requery Form After Making Changes In Another Form
Sep 17, 2014I have a form that shows a companies engagement with our company. If someone wants to edit the details of that company (address phone number etc...), they click the "edit" button, which then opens a form where edits can be performed.
After the edits are done, the user clicks a save and close button which runs docmd.runcommand acCmdSaveRecord, and returns to the companies engagement form.
When I return to the company engagement form, I would like to see the companies information reflect the changes that I just made. Currently, I can only do this by exiting the form and re-opening. I have tried using Me.Requery in the OnGotFocus, Activate and Current events to no avail.
I should mention that I have a company combo box with multiple columns that are used to display address, postal code, etc... in textboxes on the same form.

View 8 Replies View RelatedMaking Specific Fields In A Current Record Copy Themselves When Making New Record
Mar 28, 2005;) Hey everybody,
I am working on a database used in recording device characteristics/test information. The main table of information has dozens of columns for test/part detailed information. When inputing the data for each specific test, many of the info. details are repeated when testing say 20 devices of the same part all at once. Rather than retype every piece of detailed information in every field, everytime, is there an easier way? Does anyone know of a way to make specific fields copy/paste the previous record's information in the fields automatically when a new record is created? Please, if anyone could help or has ANY ideas, let me know...

Making A Form To Call Up Information From A Table?
Jan 27, 2005I'm making a customer survey database. Also be aware I'm not proficient with access.
All the customer information is being imported from an excel spreadsheet. That will include ServiceRecordID, ServiceDate, TechID, CustName, ServLocation, PhoneNum, and DeptID.
Another table will include records for answers to 5 questions that will be asked by a manager on the phone. That table is called TblQuestions. This table will also have ServiceRecordID to go with the answers.
What I'm trying to do is create a Form that at the top has a box for ServiceRecordID. I'd like to be able to type in the Number for that ID, and then all the information shows up on the form for that specific ID. And below all that, fields to add the answers to TblQuestions for that specific ServiceRecordID.
The reason I'm doing this is because the manager will get a report with the customer information that needs a follow up call. So I want them to be able to call up that information on the screen with the ServiceRecordID number, and also be able to add in the information that they get back from the customer with the questions that will be asked.
I don't know why I'm having so much trouble with this. But I'm not experienced with access or VBA both.
Making Controls On Form Update Automatically
Aug 3, 2006I have a couple of drop down menus on a form i have designed which have values which are dependent on another drop down.
So, for example, when i select USA in country, the US$, appears in my currency box but i have to select US$ from the drop down when i want it to appear automatically.
Any ideas on how to do this?
Cheers
Also, i have a calcualtion attached to a text box:
[Text87] = (1 / [List93]) * [Combo85]
However, the calculation will not be performed, even on click, until [List93] has been clicked on. [List93] is a constant value and is a hidden field so how can i make access perform the calculation without clickin [List93]
Many thanks in advance
Cheers again

Making Subform Field Value Available To Popup Form
Mar 6, 2015In my Student Administration database I am trying to launch a popup form from a sub-form of a Job Positions and Seekers form. The sub form is actually one of 2 sub-forms, both Continuous Forms default view, on a form linked via an unbound control (MasterJobPosID).
The first sub-form is called and lists open Job Positions and the 2nd sub form is called and lists all Students Seeking each of the positions. The Students Seeking subform is linked to the unbound control MasterJobPosID in the main form which is set to equal the Job Positions subform's JobPosRecNo field which is the key to the Job Positions table.
The popup form is called Job Employment and is being launched via an event macro from the Students Seeking subform. It will allow the user to create a record in the Job Employment table. The event macro has a Where statement that says "=JobPositionID And Student", an attempt to link it to both the Job Position record being filled and the Student filling it.
I am able to populate the popup form's fields in expressions setting Default Values equal to fields on the loaded Job Positions subform and the Student from the Students Seeking subform. What I am unable to get is the Job Position record key from any of the 3 fields it appears in on the Job Positions and Seekers form:
MasterJobPosID on the main form.JobPosRecNo on the Job Positions sub form.JobPositionID on the Students Seeking subform.
I want that to link the new Job employment record to the Job Position record the student is filling. In fact I get a parameter prompt for JobPositionID when the popup form is launched.
Iif Statement To Read Fields From Form Not Returning Values
Nov 4, 2006Hey there!
I've been searching about this forum and found a lot of threads on this sort of issue but haven't been able to figure it out from those alone, so feeling a bit useless :o long winded explanation by the way... I'm useless at explaining! :D
Well basically I have a query that is supposed to power a flexible search form, where you choose the fields you want to search by and enter your criteria. The form contains labelled fields with checkboxes next to them, which you tick if you want to search for something in that field. The results are displayed in a subform which reads from the query.
The problem is with the query! My solution seemed to work fine when I put my criteria in just one field when testing (that is the fields in query design builder, not the form), but when I applied the same to two fields it didn't. Instead, it would return nothing unless I specified exact and correct criteria for BOTH fields I had set up with my solution. So whereas before I could tick "Customer" and search for a customer account number and it would display ALL relevant records, now if i just ticked "Customer" and entered the same number, it would display nothing, unless I ALSO ticked "Booking" and entered a correct booking number that matched a record for that customer in the tables.
I've heard iif statements don't do too well in the criteria fields in the query design builder?? But I know nothing about using SQL really.
For example for the invoices field have used:
IIf([Forms]![frmFindInvoices]![ChkInvNo]=True,[Forms]![frmFindInvoices]![InvNo])
So:
IIf(form checkbox = true, form text box value)
However it seems to think that if the checkbox is not ticked, I want it to only display EMPTY invoicing fields. This is never the case and so no records are shown! If the tick box is not shown, there is not supposed to be criteria for this field, in other words it should allow ANYTHING through.
What I don't know how to do is tell the bloody thing that if the box is NOT ticked, it is NOT to check for anything in this field, because the user does not want to specify any criteria for this field! Things like "Is Null" produce the same results, probably because the query still thinks I want it to find records that have empty fields.
Any suggestions to specify to the query what I want? I really need to get this done! Thanks! :)
How Do I Update Data Related To A Read-only Query On A Form?
May 22, 2006Hi all, I'm so tired of looking... please help me!!
I have an Access Data Access Page based on a query which is not updatable.
The query is based on a many-to-many table (e.g. OfficeProducts with foreign keys for OfficeID and ProductID and an Amount field). The query is not updatable as I have included outer joins to the Office and Product tables to get all their records back.
(I'm not sure if I've done this the best way, but need to be able to list all the possible Products for each Office whether they use them or not.)
I want the user to be able to update the Amount field, so e.g. if it is currently set to 50 to be able to change it to 40, or if it is currently null (as there is no record so far for that OfficeProduct) then to insert a record into OfficeProducts with the OfficeID, ProductID and Amount value entered.
I thought this would be straightforward by creating a new textbox in the same section as the current Amount field, calling it NewAmount and letting the user update this, fire an event trigger to either update or insert into the table, and refresh the query and record on the form/DAP so that Amount shows the newly updated/inserted value.
I have been searching for ages... cannot locate either the best event or events to use for this nor the code to enter!! Please please help!!!!!
(This is actually for a charity helping people suffering from emergencies in developing countries, not OfficeProducts, so your spot in heaven will be reserved if you can help ;) Thanks)

Making Command Button Flash/Preview Form
Feb 2, 2007I. The two issues I am trying to address is to see if there is simple code that can be used to make a command button flash.
II. I need to show in a small pop-up box users that have expired licences. When the main License form is first called to open, I would like a smaller pop up box or preview form to open up(without operators except for the close button). The pop-up box will be based on a query that already exists to show those with expired license. Can the form be similar to the pop-up calendar found in Access already?
Thank you:o :)
Making A Search Form And Sending Values To A Query
Nov 9, 2007Hi, I am a complete idiot with VB/SQL/*anything for that matter*
Made an unbound form to search and retrieve records from a query (parameter query) (for property listings)
I've got the following fields in my "Search_Form"
1) Project (combo box pulls data from projects table)
2) Size (from - to)
3) Rate (from - to)
4) Date (from - to)
5) Price (from - to)
I've set variables for each field .... VAR_sizeFROM....... VAR_sizeTO etc.
Now here's my problem.
1) How do use VB to send the user inputs from my "Search_Form" to "Search_Query". And is it possible for either of the search fields to be blank in the form?
2)How can I do the same for a report?
Please help, I've been stuck with this for some time..
Thanks in advance
